Coleslaw With Vinegar Or Creamy Dressing Recipe

This coleslaw recipe offers two preparations. Make it with a basic vinegar dressing or add mayonnaise for a classic creamy dressing. It's easy to tailor the ingredients to suit your taste. Feel free to reduce the amount of sugar if you like a less sweet coleslaw or use the equivalent sugar-free sweetener, such as sucralose. Stevia, or erythritol. Some like the flavor of onion in coleslaw, but don't like big chunks. We sometimes use a dash of onion powder instead of freshly grated onions. If you aren't a fan of onions, omit them or serve some thinly sliced onions on the side for onion-lovers. This version is dairy-free, but you may add a few tablespoons of sour cream or buttermilk along with mayonnaise for a tangy flavor. A slaw with buttermilk or sour cream pairs nicely with fried chicken or burgers. Whether vinegar-based or creamy, the slaw makes an excellent topping or side dish to serve with pulled pork or shredded beef pot roast or brisket. Or use it to top tacos or hot dogs.
